Vegetable Salads.

The markets ut this season OF the
year afford such an unlimited variety of
vegetables. that with 4 little attention
to the different modes of preparing
them, every housekeeper will be enabled
to provide numerous and agreeable
changes for her table, as well as con-
tribute largely to the health of the
family, for it is impossible to over-esti-
mate the Importance of vegetables as
daily articles of diet. Vegetable salads
are among the most agreeable and
wholesome dishes that can be prepared
fer light summer repast; besides be-
ing very economical, they are easily
made, tempt the appetite, and impart
favor to the rest of the meal. If de-
sired in perfection, care should be taken
in their preparation. The dressing for
a variety of light salads is the same,
Dut different favo-s can be delicately
added, and skill will soon be acquired
by practice, if due attention is paid to
the direction given. In making salads,
the freshest olive oil should be used, or
if desired, thick cream or melted butter
NAV be used as substitute. The in
gradients should sill be of the best
Powder hard boiled eggs, either in a
mortar or by MASKING with the back OF
a silver spoon, add the seasoning to the
egg, then the oil, few drops at time.
and lastly, the vinegar. Stir vegetable
salads as little as possible, and always
with e wooden spoon or fork.
Vegetables used for salads are aspar-
agus, cabbage, lettuce, celery, cauli-
flower, watercrcss, tomatoes, cucam-
bers. potatoes. beets, carrots, turnips,
satisfy, artichokcs, dandelion, spinach,
kaIe. chickory. snd purslane, all of
which should be freshened in cool
water. dried carefully, and then shred
ded with the fingers. instead of being
chopped with 4 knife. Lettuce salad
should be dressed only with sol. .i., per
per, oil, and II. 7,-.agsr; eggs and mus
t..rd should cot be mixed with these
condiments. Cucumbers should be
kept on ice and eaten as soon as made
into salad. Care should be taken to
avoid bruising or crushing the vege-
tables in handling and preparing them
for salad, as it causes them to wilt

An Obstinate Jnror.

Among odd stories current at the
courthouse, says the New York 1rt-
bu1e, is the following:
The obstiracy of q juror. rs Is well
known, sometimes defeats the ends OF
Justice, for time at least, and causes
great annoyance to the eleven who are
locked UP with HIM. A case in which
something took the form of obstinacy,
but WAS of al entirely different nature.
causing long delay in the jury-box. oc.
Cured rot long ago. A jury retired
after listening 10 the evidence ard hear
ing the law clearly cSpounded in
simple action on contract The twelfth
man was a little, young, rcd-faced Ger
man, whose haIr stood s,ii.iy rp and
helped TO give his s;olid face a rebel.
lious look. He vcrc long waist coat,
which he was constantly compelled to
pull down over his stomach, which was
aldermanic beyond his years, and
short pea-jacket, from one Of the capa-
cious pockets of which pro,ruded a
large parcel. AS he entered the jury
room, and the door Was closed and
locked behind him. "Shentlemans." he
said, II is all right" He said nothing
more, but placing a chair in one corner
of the room he drew forth the brown
paper bundle from his pocket and
opening it revealed an ample supply of
German bread, Frankfort sausage, and
cheese, with which he proceeded to
gorge himself The eleven earnest men
who were with him, anxious to have
done with the case and return to their
several places of business, gathered
around The table and consulted together
rs to what it was best to do with the
stubborn old Dutchman," as they
called him, who it seemed apparent had
made up his mind to oppose the rest of
them in what they all knew was a
righteous verdict. The object Of their
wrath paid no attention to them. and
seemed engrossed in the pleasing occu-
patton in which he was engaged. At
length one OF the others turned to him
and said impatiently: Look here.
haven't you anything TO say at alp"
With his mouth full of bread and
cheese, and without looking up for a
moment he responded in thick voice:
Go on I'm all right" After time the
foreman made up his mind and there
